Just need a little assistance with an idea

I'm returning to the game and I'm looking for a little fun with a certain setup for POTD. I'm going to run a Paladin, priest, wizard, Ranger, fighter, druid.   How can I have a priest that is great at melee and get high dps from spells? I've always had a backline priest and they always end up getting out dps'd by other classes.   What is a build for Ranger that can shred through potd? I would prefer a bow but I'll consider other suggestions.   I like the lady of pain(non range variant) f
A priest who can do decent melee damage (priest are awesome as nukers anyways) is something I called "St. Gangrene" build which circles around maxed out MIG and Tidefall. It's fun to play bit needs some levels to pick up speed (due to the lame starting values of priests which need to be compensated for with abilities/talents/spells).   It's a Priest of Berath. Use a Mountain Dwarf (being resistant to poison and diseases fits really well) or Coastal Aumaua, max MIG to 20, pick Living Lands.
